Lessons From The Rustbelt

Did you miss the live broadcast for the fantastic panel event chaired by Cecilia Muñoz, Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council (and an University of Michigan alum)? This panel consisted of public servants from rebounding Midwestern cities, including a former It’s Hot In Here host, Kerry Duggan, Deputy Director for Policy at the Office of the Vice President, who talked about place-based work in action on the ground in Detroit, MI; Gary, IN; and Youngston, OH. The panelists shared how their localities collaborated across local, state, and federal levels to make progress on long-standing issues in their communities, such as pervasive blight, crime, poor community trust in law enforcement, chronic homelessness and more.
